Host Plants Unknown

The hosts of the following species are currently unknown:-

Agromyzidae

Agromyza audcenti Gibbs, 2004

Life-style: Unknown.

Agromyza bicaudata (Hendel, 1920)

Life-style: Unknown.

Agromyza conjuncta Spencer, 1966

Life-style: Unknown. It 'obviously feeds on Poaceae' (Spencer, 1990: 359).

Aulagromyza discrepans van de Wulp, 1871

Life-style: Unknown, although there is a record of Aulagromyza discrepans on Artemisia (Robbins, 1991), but as the mine has not previously been described, the record needs confirmation.
Life-style: Unknown. Xenophytomyza species 'must be grass-feeders' (Spencer, 1990: 367).
Life-style: Unknown.
Grasses (Spencer, 1972b: 104).

Cerodontha (Icteromyza) lineella (Zetterstedt, 1838)

Life-style: Unknown.

Chromatomyia glacialis (Griffiths, 1964)

Life-style: Unknown.

Liriomyza hampsteadensis Spencer, 1971

Leaf-miner: Details unknown. Spencer (1990) suggested that the host was possibly Achillea millefolium on which the original series was caught.

Liriomyza infuscata Hering, 1926

Life-style: Unknown. Spencer (1990) deduced from the distinctive genitalia that infuscata is a grass-feeder.

Liriomyza solivaga Spencer, 1971

Life-style: Unknown.
Life-style: Unknown. Like other species of Melanagromyza it is likely to be a stem- or root-borer or galler.

Metopomyza nigriorbita (Hendel, 1931)

Life-style: Unknown.

Napomyza elegans Meigen, 1830

Life-style: Unknown. Possibly a root feeder on Valeriana officinalis on which adults are frequently caught (Spencer, 1972b: 68).

Ophiomyia collini Spencer, 1971

Life-style: Unknown.

Ophiomyia definita Spencer, 1971

Leaf-miner: Details unknown.

Ophiomyia penicillata Hendel, 1920

Stem-borer: Details unknown.

Ophiomyia rostrata Hendel, 1920

Stem-borer: Details unknown.

Phytobia errans (Meigen, 1830)

Life-style: Unknown, probably a stem-borer.

Phytobia mallochi (Hendel, 1924)

Life-style: Unknown.

Phytoliriomyza alpicola (Strobl, 1898)

Life-style: Unknown. The larvae of Lemurimyza [to which alpicola has been assigned in the past] are almost certainly not leaf-miners but probably feed internally either in stems or flower-heads (Spencer, 1972b: 61).
Life-style: Unknown.

Phytoliriomyza dorsata (Siebke, 1864)

Life-style: Unknown. The larvae are almost certainly not leaf-miners but probably feed internally either in stems of flower-heads (Spencer, 1972b: 61).

Phytoliriomyza pectoralis (Becker, 1908)

Life-style: Unknown. The larvae are almost certainly not leaf-miners but probably feed internally either in stems or flower-heads (Spencer, 1972b: 63).

Phytoliriomyza perpusilla (Meigen, 1830)

Life-style: Unknown. Host unknown, possibly Aster tripolium (Spencer, 1972b: 61).

Phytoliriomyza venustula Spencer, 1976

Life-style: Unknown.

Phytomyza albipennis Fallén, 1823

Life-style: Unknown, possibly feeds as internal stem-borer (Spencer, 1972b: 92). Adults have been caught on Ranunculus (Spencer, 1972b: 92).

Phytomyza anderi (Ryden, 1952)

Life-style: Unknown.

Phytomyza dasyops Hendel, 1920

Life-style: Unknown.

Phytomyza enigmoides Hering, 1937

Life-style: Unknown.

Phytomyza ferina Spencer, 1971

Life-style: Unknown.

Phytomyza gilva Spencer, 1971

Life-style: Unknown.

Phytomyza murina Hendel, 1935

Life-style: Unknown.

Phytomyza nigrifemur Hering, 1934

Life-style: Unknown. Adults have been collected on Melampyrum nemorosum [Scrophulariaceae] (Spencer, 1976: 454).

Phytomyza nigripennis Fallén, 1823

Stem-borer: Larva feeds internally in stem (Spencer, 1990: 27).

Phytomyza rhabdophora Griffiths, 1964

Life-style: Unknown. Host possibly Leontodon (Spencer, 1976: 485).

Phytomyza schlicki Spencer, 1976

Life-style: Unknown.

Pseudonapomyza europaea Spencer, 1973

Life-style: Unknown.

Pseudonapomyza lacteipennis (Malloch, 1913)

Life-style: Unknown. Host unknown, but certainly Poaceae (Spencer, 1972b: 69).

Anthomyiidae

Botanophila striolata (Fallén, 1824)
